Uploading marks to the Blackboard Grade Centre using Microsoft Excel

In order for Blackboard to know what column of your Grade Centre the marks are related to, you must create the appropriate column in the Grade Centre first. Then you can download an excel file from Blackboard which will add special codes to each column. Having inputted the marks you can then re-upload that file into Blackboard, because it has the special codes it will be able to match the column in the excel file with the relevant column in the Grade Centre.
